A great dispute over who would become the next caliph (head of faith, leader of the Islamic army, and chief lawmaker) led to the division of Islam into the Shia (or Shi'ite) Muslims and the Sunni Muslims. The Shia believed Ali, Muhammad's son-in-law, should be the next caliph while the Sunnis believed Abu Bakr, Muhammad's father-in-law, should be the caliph. Eventually, Abu Bakr becomes the Caliph.The Sunnis took over and expanded the empire even more.

The christians were victorious in taking Jerusalem and it stayed that way for about one hundred years until it was taken back by the Muslims. The venture into the Muslim world brought knowledge to European society that would lead to the renaissance, a movement of using reason to find truth instead of using religious sources. William the conqueror introduces the feudal system to England after taking it. The English landowners and serfs opposed the change as they lived as free people in free villages. William was able to forcefully established feudalism in five years. this was an important point in England society The viking age ended in the eleventh century as European rulers figured out how to deal with the vikings. Viking villages in North America and Greenland disappeared and the dragon ships of the vikings were no longer spotted. This was good because it meant one less enemy to worry about for Europe. 11th century - Viking age ends Iran Syria Egypt Pakistan Iraq Land conquered by Muslims - Image from http://whenintime.com/tl/kstimson2018/7th_grade_world_history_/ Note: Palestine is too small to label on the map http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/the-split-that-created-roman-catholics-and-eastern.html Frankish leader Charles Martel lead an army against a huge Muslim army that threatened to take control as Europe's main religion. The Battle of tours was a historical event that could have changed history if Charles Martel didn't win the battle. Christianity would've lost control to Islam and many things could have changed such as architectural achievements found when designing cathedrals. http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/imperialism/notes/tours.html Statue of Charles Martel - Image from Wikipedia 1054 - Rome and Byzantine Christians each worshiped their God very differently with Rome using Latin tradition and Byzantine using Greek tradition. This led to a split of the church into two halves: east and west. The east was known as Greek Orthodox and the west was known as Roman Catholic. This is an important point in European Christian history. 1054CE - Great Schism Image of the split between east and west - Image from Wikimedia In 1066, William of Normandy was betrayed by his vassal, Harold Godwinson, who claimed the throne of England. William claimed that the previous king, Edward the confessor, promised the throne while Harold said Edward gave him the throne near-death. William declared war on Harold.

Charlemagne wanted to rebuild civilization. He expanded the empire, made a code of law, and tried to make life better for serfs and trade people. He also established schools and monasteries, encouraging learning and had many churches built. His work fell apart because of his descendant's feuds and their inability to fend off the vikings effectively. On Easter Sunday of 855, viking forces attacked France , the Low Countries (modern day Netherlands and Belgium), and England. They also attacked Spain and Italy. The vikings were everywhere and in huge numbers. They were highly destructive and cruel, killing everyone and burning everything in sight. The longships of the vikings allowed them to attack and leave quickly before the rulers can do anything to get rid of them. This was a shocking age as the vikings were a deadly surprise to everyone, breaking the peace of mind of the people.
